Cookie policy

In two ways: in cookies and in the browser’s local storage (localStorage). A cookie is a small text file the browser sends back with the next request, which is how we recognise, for example, your language or that you are signed in. What is in local storage stays on the device and never reaches the server.

Every item is needed for the service to work, so all of them are in the “Necessary” category and are used without consent. Saved items are the one exception to the “only on your device” rule: when you sign in, we move them into your account.

• On your first visit we ask at the foot of the page what you consent to. The necessary items need no consent: without them the service you asked for would not work, so under the law — the Hungarian Electronic Communications Act and the ePrivacy Directive — we always use them.
• Storage for convenience, statistics and marketing is switched on only if you allow it; until then it is off. Today we use no cookie in any of these categories; should we introduce one, we will list it on this page first and set it only with your permission.
• We keep your choice for 6 months and then ask again. It applies to the address where you gave it: the site’s .hu and .eu addresses ask separately.
• You can change or withdraw it at any time with “Cookie settings” at the foot of the page. Withdrawing does not affect the lawfulness of anything stored with your permission before.

If you choose the Google, Facebook, Microsoft or Apple button when signing in, your browser talks to that provider directly, which may set cookies under its own rules. This happens only when you click that button.

If a listing has a YouTube video, only its preview image is shown until you play it; the image is loaded from YouTube’s servers and sets no cookie. When you play it, the player loads from YouTube’s privacy-enhanced address (youtube-nocookie.com), and YouTube may store data on your device under its own rules.

You can delete or block cookies and local storage at any time in your browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge: Settings → Privacy → Site data). If you delete or block the sign-in cookie, you will not stay signed in and will need to sign in again.
